I was doing something else and I found this EGPAF contract to provide prevention and treatment for HIV and TB in Eswatini where prevalence and co-infection rates are among world's highest. Terminated without any plan to ensure ppl have continued access to ART.

You can cross reference programs from South Sudan against the list of terminated projects but You are asking me to provide you evidence when this info comes from credible sources using field reporting that is verified. I’m not going to do that labor for you.

If you use PEPFAR in a keyword search on usaspending, dozens of awards show up. Be sure to search both contracts and grants

I’m not going to do this work for you. But in the link to that document with tranches of canceled programs, I found several for both *south* Sudan and South Africa (coded as SA). At this point, I’m not sure how functional or accurate usaspending still is given how much DOGE has tampered with systems

PEPFAR is a pot of funding from State department but programmed via agencies that can do the work like CDC USAID and DOD. To find these grants in USASpending, youd have to do a word search. There are lists of the terminated programs via DOS found in tranches at

How I dislike the framing in this article… why is it that it’s all uncritical about this ‘returning money to taxpayers’ without examining what is being cut, what services are being lost? These ‘savings’ come at a very high price and the reporters are quickly adopting the administrations frame.

Ok but then what? After saying for months that “democracy is on the line” we have a brokered convention w a candidate anointed by party powerbrokers with four months before the election? It’s incredibly cynical and I don’t see that it will do anything but depress voter turnout which helps trump

And anyone with a calendar could’ve figured out his age 12 months ago.
Hold the line, Dems.
There is no glory or victory in a brokered convention. Just more backroom shenanigans that give weight to three arguments about how undem there Dems are.

WTAF Guys. This should’ve happened 12 months ago.
Learn from the Republicans and coalesce behind your nominee.
Otherwise this is a horribly undemocratic process that does not serve the American people.
